Reverse image search (find image source, visually similar images). Use when user provides an image and wants to find its origin, similar images, or verify au...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says, but consider the following before installing and using it:
- Privacy: When you pass a local file path, the script (via PicImageSearch) will upload that file to external search engines (Yandex/Google/Bing). Do not use it with sensitive images or files you wouldn't want sent to third parties.
- Dependency trust: The SKILL.md installs PicImageSearch from PyPI. Verify the package's reputation and pin a specific version if you intend to deploy this long-term.
- Usage caution: The script accepts arbitrary filesystem paths. Ensure the agent or any user invoking the skill cannot be tricked into supplying sensitive paths (system files, private images). Run the skill in a sandbox or restricted environment if possible.
- Minor usability issue: The SKILL.md's SKILL_DIR assignment may not resolve as intended in all runtimes—verify the venv path and that the venv is created under scripts/.venv as expected.
If you only need to search images hosted on the web, prefer providing URLs rather than local file paths. If you plan to allow the agent to call this autonomously, restrict what inputs it can supply or require explicit user confirmation before searching local files.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: reverse-image-search
Version: 1.0.0
The skill provides legitimate reverse image search functionality using the 'PicImageSearch' library. The Python script (scripts/search.py) and instructions (SKILL.md) correctly implement searching via Yandex, Google, and Bing for both local files and URLs without any evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description match the implementation: the SKILL.md and scripts/search.py use the PicImageSearch library to query Yandex, Google, and Bing and return JSON results. Required capabilities (a Python package) are proportional to the stated purpose; no unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths are requested.
Instruction Scope
The runtime instructions are narrowly focused on creating a venv and installing PicImageSearch and then running scripts/search.py with a URL or file path. This matches the purpose, but the instructions and script accept arbitrary local filesystem paths — which will be read and uploaded to external search engines. Also, the SKILL.md uses SKILL_DIR="$(dirname "SKILL.md")" which may not correctly resolve the intended skill directory in all environments (minor usability bug).
Install Mechanism
There is no platform-level install spec (lowest-risk), but SKILL.md instructs creating a venv and running pip install PicImageSearch from PyPI. Installing from PyPI is typical but carries the usual supply-chain considerations (verify package reputation, pin versions). No arbitrary download URLs or extracted archives are present.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials (good). However, the script will read arbitrary local file paths you pass and (via the PicImageSearch library) will upload them to third-party search engines. That behavior is coherent with reverse-image search, but it poses privacy/exfiltration risk if sensitive local files are supplied. The code does not restrict file types or paths.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request permanent/always-on presence, does not modify other skills' configs, and has no special privileges. Agent autonomous invocation is allowed by default (not a red flag on its own) but keep in mind the local-file upload capability if the agent is given paths to search.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install reverse-image-search - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/reverse-image-search - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
